Coming off a bye courtesy of the representative weekend, both Melbourne and Parramatta will look to hit the ground running in Round 9 after both suffering losses in Round 8.

Storm missed an opportunity to consolidate a strong half-time lead against Manly on ANZAC Day while the Eels failed to curb the white hot Broncos in Brisbane.

Melbourne had 15 players involved in six games across the representative round last weekend and have selected 10 of those players to 'back up' this round at Pirtek Stadium. The Eels on the other hand have named five players who were involved in representative fixtures.

In a boost for the visitors on Sunday, fullback Billy Slater has been named by Craig Bellamy to make his return from a shoulder injury, as a result youngster Cameron Munster moves onto Storm's extended bench.

In more changes, forwards Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Felise Kaufusi will miss Sunday's match-up with the Eels after receiving suspensions following the weekend's representative round. After missing Storm's last start against the Sea Eagles, Dayne Weston has been brought onto an extended interchange while front-rower Tom Learoyd-Lahrs is in line to make his first appearance since Round 2.

For the Eels, Brad Arthur's side re-gain outside back combination Semi Radradra and Ryan Morgan for the clash replacing Bureta Faraimo and John Folau. Both Radradra and Morgan have enjoyed success in the past against Melbourne, both scoring tries the last time the two sides met back in Round 15 last season.

Isaac De Gois also returns for the Eels, coming onto an extended five-man interchange bench.
